Putting into Operation

Correct adjustment of the Dynamic Inlet PressureThe inlet pressure on the spray gun should always be correctly adjusted. This is particularly easy with the DIGITAL technology of the SATAjet 5000 DIGITAL or with the retrofit SATA adam 2. It is also possible, however, to connect a standard air micrometer with manometer to the gun. Since pressure in combination with the supply of compressed air (air consumption) has a great influence on optimum results, you should always ensure to set the inlet pressure as recommended. You will find information on the correct pressure to be used in the paint application sheet of the paint manufacturers or on the web pages reserved for each individual SATA spray gun.X»-> Gun-Inlet PressureX»

Clean spray air...best achieved by using a combi fine filter unit with built-in pressureregulator for initial spray pressure adjustment. Due to the high pressuredrop in the air hose / coupling, the Dynamic Inlet PressureThe inlet pressure on the spray gun should always be correctly adjusted.

Sufficient air volume...by sufficient compressor performance adapted to the air consumption of the paint spray gun, by means of large air line diameters, in particularof the air hose, which should have a minimum inner diameter of 9 mm for avoiding too much pressure drop. Anti-static, SiliconePlastics based on a silicon-oxygen structure.Silicone and silicon-based substances have various fields of application in technology and chemistry. Besides industrial use, the sector of construction coatings appreciates aquaeous dispersions of silicone resins (silicone emulsions)for the application of water repellent finishing on walls.Silicone-based substances change the surface tension. Even very small silicone particles can cause considerable coating flaws (silicone craters). Therefore, silicone-based substances (e.g. gloves, oil etc.) must never be used in coating areas.X»-free and pressure-resistant.

Compressed air micrometerFor maximum flow fully open integrated micrometer, i.e. turn it to verticalposition III. Allows direct pressure regulation at the gun (not available with all gun types).

a) Gun plus micrometer with gauge, or SATAjet DIGITALAll SATA high-performance spray guns which feature a digital pressure display integrated in the gun handle are classified by the term “DIGITAL”. What is pressure Indication required for? To ensure best possible colour matching, you should follow exactly the parameters recommended by the respective paint manufacturer. Among others, this includes the air inlet pressure on the spray gun. The more you deviate from the recommended pressure the more the actually achieved colour tone will deviate as well. Why should I use DIGITAL spray guns? DIGITAL paint spray guns from SATA measure the air inlet pressure on the spray gun electronically and thus accurately and also indicate it on the digital, easy-to-read display. With DIGITAL spray guns, you can be sure to reproduce precisely the required colour tone and thus avoid costly re-work. DIGITAL guns are particularly easy to handle, since they are 20% shorter and 20% lighter than the equivalent SATA spray guns with add-on manometer and micrometer. With DIGITAL spray guns, there is also no cumbersome disassembly of the manometer and the micrometer prior to cleaning of the spray gun in a gun washer machine. Do the electronic components resist the rigors of daily use? If a few basic principles are followed, SATA DIGITAL guns are completely solvent-proof. As a matter of fact, DIGTIAL guns are also shock-proof and explosion-proof.X»Assure sufficient pressure at the pressure regulator (small arrow). Adjust recommended Inlet PressureThe inlet pressure on the spray gun should always be correctly adjusted.

c) Gun without pressure gaugeAs a practical aid - not suitable for professionals - the pressure canalso be adjusted vaguely without gauge: Adjust the pressure at the pressure regulator in a way that it is 0.6 barThis is the physical unit used for the measurement of pressure in Europe. Material and air pressure are indicated in bar (1 bar = approx. 14.5 psi).X» above the recommended gun Inlet PressureThe inlet pressure on the spray gun should always be correctly adjusted.

Material flow controlAdjust the material flow in accordance with material ViscosityMaterial viscosity is the time (in seconds) it takes the material to completely flow out of a standardized container. There are different measuring methods available. Please find the corresponding chart attached. X» and therequested flow rate (arrow) and secure by means of counter nut (smallarrow). Usually the material flow control is fully open.

Round / flat spray controlThe round / flat spray control is used for infinitely variable adjustmentof the fan to the object:Turn towards the left - Flat sprayTurn towards the right - Round spray

Nozzle setA nozzle set is a complete, checked unit of paint needle, paint nozzle andair cap. The air cap should be aligned in a way that its inscription is ontop. Only original spare parts ensure highest quality and life time.

Spray distanceIn order to avoid overspray and bad paint jobs, the spray distance between the air cap and the object should be maintained depending on gun type and material.
